S 374 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires bidders on public works construction projects to submit information on fire safety features.

S 374 requires bidders on public construction projects (including state buildings, public works, and school projects funded with public money) to submit detailed information about all fire safety features in their bid proposals. If a bidder proposes an alternative to sprinkler systems for fire suppression, they must provide a written explanation and cost-benefit analysis comparing the alternative to sprinklers. The bill aims to ensure all fire safety options are evaluated before project approval. It applies to all public construction contracts paid for with state, local, or public funds. The requirement takes effect immediately upon enactment.
